Adult Protection services provide for the safety and protection of vulnerable adults aged 18 and over who are, or are suspected to be, victims of abuse, neglect, self-neglect or exploitation.
The Adult Protection program:
receives reports of abuse, neglect, self-neglect or exploitation
investigates allegations and conducts an assessment and
offers referrals to and arranges for provision of emergency or supportive services to reduce or eliminate the risk of harm.
Vulnerable Adult: a person 18 years old or older who is unable to protect himself from abuse, neglect or exploitation due to physical or mental impairment which affects judgement or behavior to the extent that sufficient understand or capacity is lacking in regard to making, communicating or implementing decisions.
Abuse: the intentional or negligent infliction of physical pain, injury or mental harm.
Neglect: failure of a caretaker to provide food, clothing, shelter or medical care reasonably necessary to sustain the life and health of a vulnerable adult or failure of a vulnerable adult to provide those things for herself.
Exploitation: the unjust or improper use of a vulnerable adult’s funds, property, resources or financial power of attorney for profit or advantage.
